Hi Brian,
Yes, I've also made certain that the value returned for effective date
from form.cleaned_data['effective_date'] is a valid Python datetime
object.
Something seems to be amiss. The exception is happening in: django/db/
models/fields/__init__.py in to_python, line 473
If I put a print statement in there to print the 'value' variable
handed to the 'to_python' function, it doesn't return None or the
value, in fact it prints an empty line, which is making me think it's
an empty string...?
